Ski Trip
From the beginning everything with this trip went very well. I screwed up and booked under an old account causing Christie to have to work with VRBO to get it deleted. She was very quick replies. Upon arrival everything was as expected. They go over the top accommodating families. There were ton of games and even indoor and outdoor scavenger hunts. Huge win. We have 5 kids to entertain after skiing. Would definitely rent again. Happy Cabin for the WIN!!!

Cozy & Quiet
Our family definitely enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is nicely tucked into large pine trees, overlooking a clear, beautiful lake. The house has nice separation between sleeping quarters. There were plenty of beds, which were all comfortable. The primary family room has a great cozy, northern feel with great views of the lake. The proximity to town was great, far enough away to have peace and quiet but close enough to drive multiple times a day. The detail and amenities provided by the hosting family were top notch. Thanks!

Pictures don’t make any justice!
The listing pictures don’t make any justice in how cozy and well maintain the cabin is. We are a family of 10 adults and it was able to accommodate all and even we had extra beds. The lake beautiful cristal clear water and all the water toys gave us a wonderful family time. Fire pit and outdoor games as well. Very nice stay. I will come back to this cabin for sure.

Summer getaway spot!
Our family had an amazing stay at Happy Lakeside Cabin. The house was stocked with everything we would have at home and very clean. There were guides and suggestions on what to do in the area which came in handy on days we did want to go out. Our family all slept comfortably and didn't want for anything. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the weather, water and lake amenities. It was just wonderful and Christie the owner was very easy to reach and responded quickly to our questions. We couldn't have asked for better arrangements, we loved being away from the hustle and bustle. My family is already asking when we will be able to go back. Direct review from my 7-year-old after walking into the house and checking everything out "I love it here!"
